"A child born today will be faced as an adult, almost daily, with problems of a global interdependent nature, be it peace, food, the quality of life, inflation, or scarcity of resources. He will be both an actor, and a beneficiary, victim in the total world fabric, and he may rightly ask: why was I not warned? Why was I not better educated? Why did my teachers not tell me about these problems and indicate my behavior as a member of an interdependent human race? It is therefore the duty and the self-- enlightened interest of governments to educate their children properly about the type of world in which they are going to live." - Robert Muller, Assistant Secretary General during International Youth Year in 1985 (Cited in Ukpokodu, 1999) GRAPHIC SLIDE THAT GOES WITH A VOICEOVER LIKE: "We live in an increasingly global world, but even in international schools, students are often not prepared to be global citizens. International schools often have mission statements and student expectations that promise to create "socially responsible global citizens."
